Compiled by the Electrical Safety Foundation International using data from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with State New York City District of Columbia and Federal agencies Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries Dec 9 2011

(8) Based on the 1992 BLS Occupational Injury and Illness Classification Manual.(9) Based on the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification System.(10) Industry data from 2003 to 2008 are classified using the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Industry data after 2008 are classified using the 2007 NAICS.(11) Includes fatalities to workers employed by governmental organizations regardless of industry.

(3) The secondary source of injury if any identifies the object substance or person that generated the source of injury or that contributed to the event or exposure. For vehicle collisions the deceased's vehicle is the primary source and the other object (truck road divider etc.) is the secondary source. For most homicides the "bullet" is the primary source and the "perpetrator" is the secondary source. For most falls the secondary source identifies the equipment or surface from which the worker fell.

Footnotes(1) Persons identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. The race categories shown exclude data for Hispanics and Latinos.

NOTE: Dashes indicate no data or data that do not meet publication criteria. Totals for major categories may include subcategories not shown separately. Data for all years are final unless footnoted by "P" for preliminary data.

(4) Mining includes fatalities at all establishments categorized as Mining (Sector 21) in the North American Industry Classification System 2002 including establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rules and reporting such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction.(5) Military specific occupations include fatalities to persons identified as resident armed forces regardless of individual occupation listed.(6) May include volunteers and workers receiving other types of compensation.(7) Includes self-employed workers owners of unincorporated businesses and farms members of partnerships paid and unpaid family workers and may include owners of incorporated businesses.

(P) Preliminary

(2) The primary source of injury identifies the object substance or exposure that directly produced or inflicted the injury. For most transportation incidents the primary source identifies the vehicle in which the deceased was an occupant. For most falls the primary source identifies the surface or object contacted.

(4) Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration U.S. Department of Transportation. These data do not reflect the changes Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1 2002; therefore estimates for these industries are not comparable with estimates for other industries.(5) Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved less days than a specified median. Median days away from work are represented in actual values.NOTE: Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses data may not sum to the totals. Dashes indicate data that do not meet publication guidelines. The scientifically selected probability sample used was one of many possible samples each of which could have produced different estimates. A measure of sampling variability for each estimate is available upon request -- please contact [email protected] or call (202) 691-6170.Compiled by the Electrical Safety Foundation International using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics U.S. Department of Labor Dec 9 2011

Footnotes(1) Days away from work include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction.(2) Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

(3) Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System -- United States 2007) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rules and reporting such as those in oil and gas extraction and related support activities. Data for mining operators in coal metal and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal metal and nonmetal mining industries. These data do not reflect the changes Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1 2002; therefore estimates for these industries are not comparable with estimates for other industries.
